I suspect the reason is that most people don't use CMFBTreeFolder
directly but just mixin BTreeFolder2 with whatever classes they need.

At least that's what we do.

I also support moving CMFBTreeFolder out of the Zope 2.8 core, if we can
find a way of doing it with minimal impact (and taking into account that
a little impact now is better than a big headache in the future when
things diverge). The inclusion of BTreeFolder was good, but nobody
thought of the CMFBTreeFolder in it.
